A coupon will be printed in The Commonwealth which will be good for the number of votes indicated on the face of the ballot. These ballots must be clipped out and sent to the ballot box in The Commonwealth office before the expiration of the date printed thereon.

Then simply start out and get sub scriptions for The Commonwealth. ALL CANDIDATES TREATED ALIKE.

The same number of prizes will be given in the consolidated districts as were to be given in the two districts which were consolidated, in the same as the prizes in the original districts were to be awarded. The Contest will close Tuesday, February 7th, at 9:00 p. m. One way to rrevenl Crime. It would be one of the surest pre ventives of public crime, were it known that the re.-pectable people of the town were not going to recog nize the grafter, the corrupt politi cal boss, the buyer of legislation, the advocate of race-track gambling, the presidents of corporations that vio-1 late every law, the despisers of the J marriage relationship. We have' been thinking hw especially effect- ive ostracism might be in these fre quent cases of marital infidelity and I divorce. Not long ago a great in dustrial magnate divorced his wife, who had shared his former povety and borne him children, to marry an actress. Suppose that every respec tadle family had ignored them, what a blow it would have been. For it was largely this craving for social distinction the woman was after. The minister who married them was ostracized, and it worked his repent ance. After his public confession of mistake he was heartily welcomed into their esteem. The other day a prominent man und woman, both of whom had been divorced, vvei e mar ried the day after the d vorce of one of them; the love-making, k was evi dent, had been done whi e one at least was married. Every respecta ble person simply absolutely ignore such people until they repent it would be one of the most potent remedies for the tanden plagamy so many are practising. And ministers and justices should be ostracized who continue such things. New York Evangelist. Judge Connor on State and Federal Courts. In charging the grand jury at the openkgof rhe November term of the Federal court here today, Juilge H. G. Connor treated with special emphasis the relations of the State and the Federal counts and declared his determination to maintain the very best of relations and co-operation. He declared especially against a practice that he has observed of United States commissioners and other Federal officers going into the State courts, especially the magis trates and police courts, and seek ing out cases to be hauled into the United States courts for trial after the defendants have already been dealt with in the State courts. He laid down as a rigid rule to be ob served in his court that no defend ant was to be prosecuted after he had been dealt with in the State courts. He insisted that officers of his court must keep this rule in mind in making up cases for the court over which he presides. Raleigh ! Special 22d. to Charlotte Observer. Get the Genutne Always.
